Theme of today’s Mass: “Christ, the second Adam”: Today we celebrate Christ, the second Adam, who overcame temptation and sin, and by his obedience won back the world to God.

Stations of the Cross: There will be Stations of the Cross on Sunday afternoons in Lent at 4.00pm. This is a beautiful service which lasts just over twenty minutes.
Lent Reflections: The Justice & Peace Group will be providing us with thought-provoking reflections during the season of Lent. The first reflection is attached to this newsletter.
The Parish Lenten Retreat: This will take place on Saturday 21st March. Those who would like to attend are asked to sign up on the list at the back of church which gives full details.
CAFOD Lenten Fast Day: This will be held on Friday of this week. We are encouraged to have a simple meal on this day and make a donation to the wonderful work of the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development. There are donation envelopes in the pews and at the back of church which should be brought back next Sunday.
Lent Lunches: These will take place in Trinity Rooms (Holy Trinity Church in Barrow) at 12.30pm on Fridays from 28th February to 3rd April.
Lent Study Groups: Please see the notice at the back of church for details. All welcome.
Women’s World Day of Prayer: Friday March 6th at 7.00pm at Holy Trinity, Barrow
Prayer and Devotion Together:
“For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”(Matthew 18:20)
This week in church:
Thursday 5th March at 2.30pm: “Holy Rosary”.
Parishioners are invited to join any of the “Prayer and devotion together” sessions and, if they are unable to attend, to indicate on the sheet at the back of church the personal intentions for which they would like prayers offered in their absence. 
Mass online: If you know a parishioner who is unwell or housebound and unable to get to Mass on a Sunday, they may be interested in the link which has been added to the Home Page of the parish website and which allows one to view Mass being celebrated at the Cathedral in Nottingham on each day of the week. Times of Masses are also listed.
Friends of St Gregory: The next meeting will be on Wednesday 4th March at 2.00pm – weather permitting.
Parish Charity: We have raised over £170 for Loughborough Town of Sanctuary. Wouldn’t it be great if we could reach £200 by the end of Lent?
Finances: Collection: 23rd February: £116.10. Candles: £6.60. Diaries: £7.50. Repository: £40.00. Many thanks. (Cheques to be made payable to: St Gregory’s RC Church)
Quiz and Curry night: Millie andMatthew will be travelling to Namibia with their school, De Lisle, and Schools Worldwide to help local schoolchildren. Their first fund-raising venture will be a quiz and curry night on Saturday 28th March at 6.00pm in the Church Hall. Please see the poster at the back of church.
Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes: This year’s diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes led by Bishop Patrick will be from 12th-17th July. The price for five nights is £755 (air) or £655 (train). Further information can be found on the poster/leaflets at the back of church. For pilgrimage details you can visit: www.tangney-tours.com/nottinghamor email Fr Simon Gillespie at: simon@nottinghamcatholic.com
PPC Meeting: The date of the next meeting has been changed to Wednesday 18th March. Please give some thought to any item that you would like to be raised.
Mount St Bernard Abbey: A documentary about the monks of Mount St Bernard Abbey near Coalville has received excellent reviews because, among other things, it is the only Trappist monastery in England and it is also the home of Tynt Meadow Beer, an English Trappist Ale.  For more information: www.facebook.com/outsidethecityfilm or www.outsidethecityfilm.com 
After Mass: Please come and join us in the Social Centre for a cup of tea/coffee/soft drink and a chat. If you are a newcomer or a visitor you are particularly welcome.
